President Richard Nixon took several actions that contributed to slowing desegregation, particularly in the context of school systems. His administration implemented a policy known as "benign neglect," which reduced federal oversight and intervention in civil rights issues, thereby allowing some local authorities to resist desegregation efforts. Additionally, Nixon's administration supported the idea of "school busing" but also encouraged policies that allowed for neighborhood schools, which often perpetuated segregation. These approaches reflected a broader strategy of appealing to white voters while avoiding direct confrontation over civil rights.

Technically, none. A House committee recommended a bill of Impeachment, but it was never delivered as Nixon fled before it could be voted on. Two Presidents, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, were impeached, but they rode it out and were acquited by the Senate.
The Supreme Court didn't set a fixed timeline for desegregation in Brown v. Board of Education II, (1955), but ordered it to take place "with all deliberate speed."
